Blue thoughts, in a weekend of relative rest and before starting to get really serious again, for a month of November that will have to mark the real start of the World Cup, from the parallels of Lech / Zuers (albeit still at risk) until at the North American races where the season will really be at the heart of the season.
Federica Brignone and Sofia Goggia received a great welcome at the "Festa degli Azzurri" in Skipass, even before knowing that they would have won as a couple the "FISI Athlete of the Year" award, as well as Dominik Paris and Nadia Delago spoke, interviewed by Cristina Fantoni, in the event that also involved Federico Pellegrino and Michele Boscacci (the skialper was the third finalist for the annual recognition of the Federation).
"It is a shame for the Zermatt-Cervinia races, the speed opening would have been an important novelty for us. in Killington - Sure, I hope to repeat myself in Lake Louise where a crazy treble came last year, but it will be difficult.
First let's think about breaking the ice with the giant from Killington (where the Bergamo-based, 6 years ago, won the first podium in CdM), preceded by the finishing work at Copper Mountain. I'm fine, only this heat scares me a bit, it's difficult even to train dry but we adapt, because our sport also requires this ”.
Federica Brignone, unlike Goggia, would have competed in Soelden: “I'm sorry not to have started there, also because it is a race that helps you release the tension that builds up after seven months of work. Furthermore, I am sorry for Cervinia, for the effort they had put into it, even more so, being at home, I felt bad ”.
"I will have to think more even in the races where I can only make placings - instead Dominik Paris opened, analyzing the fight for the downhill World Cup, reduced from 14 to 12 appointments after the cancellation of the" Speed Opening "- In Soelden I had good sensations, too bad for the lack of qualification but it was a good debut ”.
And Nadia Delago? The Olympic downhill bronze will start its season directly from Lake Louise, with the triptych of Canadian challenges from 2 to 4 December. “The medal represented something beautiful and unexpected that I thoroughly enjoyed back home, but now it's all starting from scratch and I'll ... just try to have fun. First of all, I don't have to think about achieving who knows what results, but also live this season with enthusiasm and without pressure ”.
